Description:

This 7-week multi-faceted program will benefit the entire family, and provide support for creating a healthy, well- rounded life style. The “Eating Smart Staying Active” component will offer lessons on managing the family food budget which will include menu planning ideas for quick, easy, healthy and low-cost meals and snacks. Each week there will be cooking demonstrations which will provide participants an opportunity to prepare and taste foods using healthy low-cost recipes. The family skills component will include positive behavior management techniques to encourage healthy behaviors, build strong communication and increase cooperation within the family unit. Parents and children will be involved in learning and practicing new behaviors.
